20th Annual Fundraising Gala
Saturday, April 18, 2026
5:30 p.m. - 11:00 p.m.
Saint Viator High School

The Night of the Lion is a celebratory event where alumni, parents (past and present), and friends of Saint Viator gather to honor current parents, Michael '95 and Melissa Canning, as our 2026 Night of the Lion Legacy Award Honorees, and to raise funds to support the tuition assistance program.

As the cost of education continues to rise each year, there is an urgent and ongoing need to provide meaningful tuition assistance to our students.
